GSkeleton Theme in Extend
This is the responsive boilerplate
Skeleton made ready for GetSimple.
Quote:A Beautiful Boilerplate for Responsive, Mobile-Friendly Development
Skeleton is a small collection of CSS files that can help you rapidly develop sites that look beautiful at any size, be it a 17" laptop screen or an iPhone.
I have added a nav menu and a footer with minimal styling so the theme works straight out of the box, but the intention is that it should be used as a basis for building, editing and restyling.
The Skeleton code is much, much simpler than Bootstrap. there is no jquery and no javascript, just a nice efficient css grid which is easy to use and edit. Ideal for GetSimple, and really good for making existing sites responsive.
There is a good short beginners tutorial and introduction here:

Great work, Timbow. Thanks!
Updated V1.1 uploaded today:
Removed a margin-top declaration which had caused me grief. All skeleton block elements have only bottom spacing for a good reason it turns out.
Removed some inline style declarations and put them in the css where they belong.
Also gave the template some html5 nomenclature: 'section', 'nav', 'aside' etc.
Thanks for maintaining it. It's a great base theme.

A pleasure. I like it, although I find that three css files can be confusing sometimes
You beat me to it Timbow!!! I was thinking about doing this too
Nice work!!!
Lovely work!
A few suggestions though. Look through your CSS for font: where you mean font-family: (there are a few mistakes).
And, think about including a blank custom.css file with a reference in the template.
That way people will have a good place for their customizations that won't overwrite your template CSS.

Thanks Steven, although most of the work is not even mine. I only added a few lines to the css files to make a nav menu and a footer, so that you had a complete page to start a project with in GS.
I would be very grateful if you could point out any mistakes. If I could see them I would have fixed them.
font: (not
font-family:) is correct. You made me look it up. It's for grouping shorthand declarations; like
background: instead of
background-color: background-image: etc.
The Skeleton files already include a blank css named layout.css. It's where I always write the site-specific code.
I enjoyed your site.
I didn't even bother opening layout.css figuring that it had 16 columns stuff in it (since that seemed like layout to me). That was why I added a custom.css.
Oh well, live and learn.

Don't know where the text editor and the css classes are. Looks more like something very dangerous on a tea tray, but that Amy Williams is pure class.
FYI
Skeleton 2.0 has been released (and is being maintained again)

Thanks Carlos that's good news. We will have to get the GetSimple version out pronto and see if we can get links off the Skeleton site.

Any progress on updating GSskelton?
